Tathagata instantly moved to the place where the two saints of Lingshan were meditating.
At this time, the two saints were practicing with several top Buddhist masters, including the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, Maitreya Buddha, and the Peacock King.
Seeing Tathagata coming, the two of them did a quick calculation in their minds and knew the purpose of Tathagata's coming. They knew that Manjusri had been killed and the Lingshan army was wiped out, but Tathagata could not find out who had done the attack.
The two of them couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Lu Xiaoran took action?"
The Tathagata raised his hand and said:
"Disciple also thinks so. If Lu Xiaoran hadn't taken action personally, it would have been impossible for disciple to find out the secret."
"But how did he do it? Why can't we find any trace of him after searching Jin'ao Island?"
"No matter what, so many disciples of my Buddhism were killed, even a being of Manjusri's level was killed. If this gets out, it will have a great impact in the Three Realms. Master, should I go to Jin'ao Island in person?"
“No!”
Jie Yin stopped Tathagata at the first opportunity.
"You are the Lord of Lingshan Mountain, a saint! If you take action without evidence, it will give people a chance to talk about you. If Lu Xiaoran goes to Zixiao Palace to confess his crime, my Buddhism will inevitably suffer some losses.
Besides, you have just broken through to the Saint Realm, and your foundation is not solid enough. If your foundation is damaged, it will be a real problem."
"Then according to Master and Uncle's wishes?"
Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other and smiled.
"This is naturally using our old method."
"The old way? Could it be that I should go and cry to Daozu?"
"Exactly!"
The two saints said with a smile on their faces:
"As the saying goes, the crying child gets the milk. Back then, your uncle and I were the weakest among all the saints, and our future was the most uncertain.
But the two of us will ask your great master for mercy. As a result, the Western religion created by the two of us has become the most popular in the Three Realms.
Although Lu Xiaoran is only a newly sanctified being, he is still a powerful saint after all. If you fight him rashly, you will definitely win, but you will inevitably get hurt, which will affect your foundation and future cultivation.
We just need to report to the Taoist Patriarch, and the Taoist Patriarch will punish him. Even if it is just a thought, Lu Xiaoran cannot bear it. "
Tathagata smiled knowingly.
"I see."
One of the reasons why he chose to join Buddhism was precisely because of this.
The reason why he was called Duobao Taoist was not only because he had a lot of treasures, but also because of his character. He was extremely stingy and knew how to save money, which allowed him to accumulate a huge fortune and was therefore called Duobao Taoist.
However, Tongtian, the leader of Jiejiao, who was also his former master, had no idea how to save money. Not only did he recruit many disciples, he also gave away the treasures in his hands.
But Jie Yin and Zhunti are different, not only are they very hardworking, but they also know how to save money and take advantage of small opportunities.
To outsiders, this may seem stingy and not presentable.
But it was because of this that Jie Yin and Zhunti, with their weakest cultivation among the saints, established the strongest Western religion in the Three Realms.
Moreover, now in Western religion, I have also become a saint, and Western religion was the first to have three saints.
At the same time, the ancient Buddha Dipankara and Maitreya Buddha in Western religions are all quasi-saints, infinitely close to the level of saints. They only lack a little chance and opportunity, and they may become saints at any time!
In this way, the number of saints in Western religions will gradually increase.
In comparison, there is not a single saint in the Heavenly Palace, and there are still only Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun in the Orthodox and Human teachings.
Can’t it be proved that the development direction of Jie Yin and Zhunti is correct?
"In that case, this matter will be entirely up to Master and Uncle-Master to handle."
The two men nodded, turned into two golden lights, broke through the void, and headed straight towards the Zixiao Palace.
On the other side, at the entrance to the prehistoric world, the door to the void was opened again.
A murderous black cloud floated out from it.
Rumble.
As the black clouds appeared, lightning and thunder roared, and all the creatures in the ancient world could not help but tremble when they heard the sound.
The fear from their souls was telling them that they could not afford to offend the creatures in the black cloud!
And this black cloud was not targeting them, but was heading straight towards one direction.
The creatures fled in all directions, sending signals to each other.
Some Daluo monks who were born in the ancient times also looked solemn.
"The heavenly soldiers and generals are coming! Judging from the situation, there are probably no less than 100,000 of them!"
"The Heavenly Court has not been to the prehistoric world for tens of thousands of years. Why is it suddenly here now? Could it be related to the saint on Jin'ao Island?"
After 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals entered the prehistoric world, Nezha and Li Jing used their incarnations to command the army, and the father and son headed straight for Jin'ao Island.
With the help of Nezha's Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian's cultivation, the father and son arrived at Jin'ao Island almost in an instant.
Fang Tianyuan, who was in seclusion, sensed Nezha coming and immediately woke up from his seclusion and arrived above Jin'ao Island.
"Nezha, you just went back, how come you're back again in the blink of an eye?"
However, when he saw Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Li Tianwang is here too?"
Li Jing nodded and bowed:
"I never thought that after tens of thousands of years, I would have the opportunity to see the Great Sage again."
Fang Tianyuan smiled indifferently.
"Those are all old names. Now I'm Fang Tianyuan."
Li Jing nodded again and called out "Fellow Daoist Fang".
Nezha immediately said:
"Monkey, I just went back and old Haotian asked me to lead troops to attack Jin'ao Island. I discussed with my father and decided to bring some important officials from the Heavenly Court and send them to Jin'ao Island so that Grand Master can destroy them.
By the way, let my father become the disciple of Grand Master."
Fang Tianyuan was a little amused.
"When did you two, father and son, learn to sell out your teammates?"
Li Jing said coldly:
"This is not my father and I's fault. It's the Heavenly Court that's going too far! My Li family has done our best for the Heavenly Court and I don't know how much we have paid. But how did the old Jade Emperor treat us?
He sealed my son's demonic body, leaving him with only loyalty, faith, propriety and righteousness, completely losing the ability to think for himself, and becoming Haotian's running dog.
It was the Heavenly Court that didn't treat us as human beings, so how can you blame me and my son for betraying the Heavenly Court?"
Nezha also nodded and agreed:
"My father and I, both of us have become saints in the flesh, and we are not bound by the heavenly court. We don't owe Haotian anything at all. Haotian is ruthless and ungrateful, so we two can kill him!
Monkey, we have sold 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. Can you please ask the Grand Master to give my father a position as a registered disciple? Of course, it would be even better if he could be a direct disciple. "
"I dare not give you two more promises about this specific situation. In our Wuming Sect, everything is up to our Master. Whatever the Master says is what it is."
Nezha smiled wickedly.
"We, father and son, naturally know this, but you are the direct disciple of Grand Master. If you help us plead for mercy, it will definitely have a good effect."
As he spoke, he secretly handed Fang Tianyuan an item.
"Monkey, this is just a token of my appreciation. Just consider it as a favor."
Fang Tianyuan was startled, and looked at what was in his hand, which turned out to be an innate treasure. This made him feel a little amused.
"Nezha, do you think our Wuming Sect lacks this thing? We have 3,000 disciples in the Wuming Sect, and each of them has an innate treasure."
Li Jing was shocked when he heard this. How could Jin'ao Island be so powerful?
Everyone holds an innate treasure, doesn't that mean there are more than three thousand innate treasures here?
God, this is just too crazy.
The entire Heaven and Lingshan together are not even half of what they have!
However, when he thought of Lu Xiaoran's identity, he suddenly felt that this was normal.
Pangu's reincarnation, there is nothing to question about it.
Nezha whispered in Fang Tianyuan's ear:
"If you agree, after the war, I will pack up the Seven Fairies and Chang'e and give them to you, as well as the Queen Mother of the West, and give them all to you as bed warmers."
Fang Tianyuan was even more speechless.
"I'm not interested in women."
Nezha was silent for a moment.
"Then I have two older brothers, both of whom are good-looking, handsome, and fair-skinned. They are definitely one in a million."
"Stop!"
Fang Tianyuan quickly interrupted him.
This Nezha is getting more and more outrageous the more you talk about him.
"Okay, you don't need to say anything more, just follow me to see the Master. I am afraid of you."
"Okay!"
Nezha narrowed his eyes and smiled, and gave his father a wink, while Li Jing gave him a thumbs up.
The father and son followed Fang Tianyuan and entered Lu Xiaoran's original world.
The moment he arrived at the origin world, Li Jing's pupils suddenly shrank and the hairs all over his body began to stand up.
"Is this the origin world? The origin world that is completely independent of the Three Realms?"
Fang Tianyuan nodded.
"Does Li Tianwang know what's good?"
Li Jing secretly marveled at this and responded:
"I was just lucky enough to see a little explanation in a book."
Having said that, Li Jing's understanding of Lu Xiaoran has been elevated to a new level.
"Li Tianwang, there is no need to be modest. You are well-read and knowledgeable. This origin world is something that even we, your direct disciples, cannot distinguish. If it weren't for Master telling us, we would not have known that this was the origin world. It was only after Master told us personally that we knew about it.
I didn’t expect you to be able to tell it apart at a glance.”
Li Jing looked at his son, his eyes seemed to be saying.
See how it goes? Ginger is still spicy, right?
However, Nezha showed no admiration at all. Instead, he looked at Li Jing with a smirk on his face.
The next second, Li Jing followed Fang Tianyuan and flew towards Lu Xiaoran's position.
But just as he took a step, his body was out of control and flew out instantly, turning into a bolt of lightning and instantly crashing into a mountain.
boom--!
The powerful impact even caused huge mountains to collapse.
“Ahem.”
Li Jing climbed up from the ground with a dusty face, pointed at Nezha in the sky and cursed angrily:
"You bastard, why is the speed of time in this space so fast? You didn't even tell me."
